My t had to keep reminding me that he is not my mother, and he is not LIKE my mother, and he will not treat me like my mother treats me.

In this scenario, if for some reason he couldnt make up the time at the end of the hour, he now would tell me we would make it up at a later session. But it took a while for me to develop that trust in him and not make negative assumptions and get mad at him first.

So for me, now that i read the other posts, yeah i see this purely as a transference issue. Wheres my freud emoticon??
